Abstract excerpt
We have previously proposed that IQGAP1, an effector of Rac1 and Cdc42, negatively regulates cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion by interacting with beta-catenin and by causing the dissociation of alpha-catenin from cadherin-beta-catenin-alpha-catenin complexes and that activated Rac1 and Cdc42 positively regulate cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion by inhibiting the interaction of IQGAP1 with beta-catenin....
